the "they" she was referring to were britain, france, and other allies. clearly the administration as chuck todd indicated is trying to pull way back, not be at the front of this. make it as multilateral as possible and keep as many u.s. fingerprints off this as possible. >> how much of that is because of our relationships with countries like bahrain and yemen who are currently dealing with popular uprisings in their nations? >> well, if i may, though, let me take a bit of a different tack than jonathan. i don't think command and control of this operation is a problem at all. nato has been operating together in the air for two generations. the brits and french are completely integrated. this will be a nato air command and control. obviously the u.s., awacs, air-to-air refueling, etcetera, will be a key part. the command and control won't be a difficulty at all. the question is roe and who is going to strike. now to your other question, contessa, there it comes into the matter of sort of parallel diplomacy. what are we doing striking libyan ground targets

this is what britain does best. we're a nation that wants to put on a great show, we want to show that britain is still great. this is the biggest show for the royals ever. >> and clearly the most memorable wedding since charles and diana. are you feeling echos of it there? >> well, you know, i mean, i was still, dare i say, when charles and diana got married. but the sense of the community, if you like, the country getting together, you think there's always people who don't particularly enjoy these things, but on the whole if you look at the crowds we've got, far more than people anticipated, there are street parties going up and down the country. i think there's a definite warmth for the people. the royal family need this couple to work to have the monarchy work into the future. the queen really can't afford any more mistakes. i think kate and william have found a true winner. >> we're looking at tape on the right-hand side of the screen of the beckhams as we're just hearing neil talk about as they arrived. victor
